I don't understand the arguement...biko, what colour is this dress?

The dress above has got everyone talking- CNN, TIMES, folks on twitter. People are clashing over what colour it is. You would think everyone would agree on what colour it it but no o, the debate has been going on for two days now.

A Tumblr user named Swiked posted the pic of the dress on online on  Feb. 25, and wrote "Guys please help me - is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can't agree…"

Twitter & Facebook exploded with opinions and reactions. Some are saying it's White & Gold, while others insist it's Blue & Black. Biko, my people, what colour is this dress? Even US celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Julianne Moore got involved. See some tweets after the cut.

This is simple; some colours actually look different in a lighter background or in a darker background. it's all a function of light, reflection and shadows. So its both blue & black and white & Gold

I thought it was a joke till i asked some colleagues at work. Some are seeing white and gold for real oh. This dress is blue and black in my own eye biko. The designer of the dress has to tell us what colour it is.the whole world is divided over 1 ugly dress.

Your journalism is so wack...please explain why people got confused not posting the actual color of the dresses. It comes with a video and at the beginning it was white and gold, then late blue and black.

Delly said...

The original argurement of the dress colour is technically not the colour am seeing. I can't see any white or black. Personally, I will say that is either khaki or brownish gold for the strip and purplish blue for the background. Thank you

Unknown said...

Please o. I am seeing white and brown, while my sister is seeing blue and brown. Biko. Are we all becoming colour-blind? Kindly follow my blog post on kenylifestyle.blogspot.com

Benbillo said...

It's more of perception to me. I see blue and black whereas my colleagues feel it's white and blue. Some even say violet and blue. Obviously, people see things differently.
